Great music — and a great view — are promised for this Saturday’s Sourland Music Festival from 3 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 23, at Hillsborough Golf and Country Club, 146 Wertsville Road, Hillsborough.
The CC Coletti band — which has performed, recorded or written with Meatloaf, the Spin Doctors, Lenny Kravitz and John Waite — will headline the show.
And the view? The show takes place on a polo field on top of the mountain.
Based in Somerset and Hunterdon counties, the CC Coletti band and guitarist Anthony Krizan are sure to rock the mountain. Also on the bill is area favorite Ten Foot Tall, which has toured with Los Lonely Boys and shared the stage with Dave Mason, Marshall Tucker and Bernie Worrell.
World-touring jazz master Jim Ridl, Indie songstress Christine Havrilla and local bluegrassers, the Blue Wave Ramblers, round out the bill.
“The Sourland Music Festival. . . a gathering of families, music lovers and community to celebrate the Sourland region and great outdoors,” Tim Johnson, festival co-chairman.
